A mother and daughter were rescued unharmed after their car was swallowed by a sinkhole caused by intense rains in Nuevo Laredo, Tamaulipas, early Tuesday morning.

The sinkhole opened up beneath their 2010 Volkswagen Jetta at around 5:30 a.m., but despite the spectacular nature of the incident, the car remained right-side-up and the mother and her young daughter were not injured.

Firefighters and Civil Protection rescuers arrived on the scene to find the two on top of their car, which was surrounded by water and mud at the bottom of the hole, which was more than five meters below street level.

Further severe weather has affected parts of Honduras, where media report at least 2 people have died in the last 2 days as a result.

Severe weather in the country from 26 to 28 May caused 2 fatalities. One person died after a lightning strike in Tegucigalpa. The second fatality occurred after heavy rain caused a house to collapse in Esquías, Comayagua Department.

Areas worst hit by heavy rain and flooding were in Francisco Morazán, where 101 families were affected according to the Permanent Contingency Commission (Copeco). The Fire Department carried out flood rescues in Cantarranas (also known as San Juan de Flores), Francisco Morazán Department, after flooding from the Choluteca river swept away a vehicle carrying 2 passengers.

On May 17th, NASA's AIM spacecraft detected the first noctilucent clouds (NLCs) of summer. Those first electric-blue smudges were barely visible. Since then, however, the clouds have rapidly intensified. Recent images from orbit show a growing bank of NLCs pinwheeling just inside the Arctic Circle:

NLCs are Earth's highest clouds. Seeded by meteoroids, they float at the edge of space more than 80 km above the ground. The clouds form when summertime wisps of water vapor rise up to the mesosphere, allowing water to crystallize around specks of meteor smoke. Last summer, they spread as far south as Los Angeles and Las Vegas, setting records for low-latitude sightings.

On Monday 25 May I decided to go for a walk along the coastal path at Scapa Beach, Mainland Orkney, to look for some Yellow Wagtails and keep an eye on the sea for any cetaceans. I had no luck with the wagtails but, as I was heading back from my walk, I scanned the sea with my binoculars before spotting something different in the sky.

A white beak was the first thing I noticed as being unusual - it was almost eagle-like - but I knew it wasn't bird of prey and more likely a skua of some description, so I decided to get some photos. The bird had first appeared at approximately 7.30 am along the east coast of Scapa Flow just below Gaitnip Farm and headed over Scapa Bay, to the west coast of the flow, and up over Lingro Farm where it gained height, circling above the fields in an almost Common Buzzard-like manner.

As I was watching it I started thinking that it was something different to normal, as it had an unusual wingbeat and flying style (almost reminscent of an owl!) and a white beak and black body with long wings. What was this? The bird then started to head east again back over Scapa Bay, before flying up over the hill towards the airport. That was the last I saw of it.

It's as if governments around the planet know that the energetic changes sweeping our solar system and the spiral arm of our galaxy will usher in changes that will naturally reset humanity. This explains the unbelievably reckless money printing and ripping apart of the global economy unchecked. The Hollywood-esque headlines need to become more and more distracting to keep the populace unaware until they are not.
